Medical Insurance

Current Students

If I get sick, can I see a doctor using my guard.me@SFU insurance or BC Medical Services Plan?

Yes, you may use your primary medical insurance to visit a doctor. Please see the following resources for accessing primary medical care.

  • Medical clinics at SFU Health and Counselling Services
  • Neighbourhood walk-in clinics
  • Urgent and Primary Care Centres
  • If you are insured by guard.me@SFU and are unwell, you can access mobileDOCTOR by guard.me for consultation with a doctor from your home. You need to have your policy number as well as a list of your symptoms and how long you have had them to speak with a doctor. For more information visit the guard.me@SFU website

For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room right away.
